Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus in Florida

While we were in Florida, I made a shocking discovery.  Chris is better at reading Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus than me.Jayce had a little bed set up beside our bed, and a small selection of books.  This one made the list almost every night.Chris curled up beside him and they read away.  His pigeon voice is pretty funny.I tried to sneak up on them, kind of, and hid on the other side of the bed.But Jayce stopped Chris, and told...

Happiness

Remember that Will Smith movie, The Pursuit of Happiness, where he says, "This part of my life...this part right here...this is called happiness."This is happiness for me.I probably turned to Chris a half a dozen times while we were at the beach on this day to say, "I'm so happy right now." A sleepy baby snuggled in my lap, a warm salty breeze, white powdery sand, my two favorite boys playing together, and a beautiful ocean view.This part of my life...

3 Year Old Jayce-isms

I made these pants for Jayce a few months ago and just got the chance to get some pictures of him in them.  I thought they would make a fun backdrop for some recent Jayce-isms.3 years old is a fun age.  It is particularly interesting because Jayce has such a good grasp of language, so the vocabulary mix ups are pretty sweet.Backporchigans instead of Backyardigans.He asks us to come sit behind him on the couch, instead of beside him.When...
